Kathmandu, January 25. Elon Musk owned private company SpaceX on Sunday successfully launched a record-breaking number of 143 little satellites in its private Falcon 9 rocket.
The Transporter-1 ‘’ride-share’’ mission was launched from its own Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral in Florida. The rocket carried 133 commercial and government spacecraft and 10 SpaceX Starlink broadband satellites.
Nine minutes after the launch, the first stage booster returned for a pinpoint landing on its drone ship in the Atlantic Ocean.
Earlier in November, SpaceX had launched a Falcon rocket on a six-month “Crew-1” mission with an attached Crew Dragon capsule that carried 4 astronauts to the International Space Station.
Earlier in May, SpaceX successfully conducted its first crewed flight mission called “Demo-2,” with two astronauts into space.
SpaceX is also working on a large starship that can carry 100 passengers to the moon and other planets at a single launch.
Here is the live coverage of the Transporter-1 mission.
